worm bins
A worm bin is a container designed for composting organic waste using worms, typically red wigglers. These worms break down food scraps, paper, and other biodegradable materials, turning them into nutrient-rich compost known as vermicompost. This process not only reduces waste but also produces a valuable soil amendment for gardens.
Worm bins can be made from various materials, including plastic or wood, and come in different sizes. They require proper ventilation, moisture, and a balanced diet to keep the worms healthy. Regular maintenance, such as adding new food and harvesting the compost, ensures a successful worm composting system.
